Grandparenting from a Christian Perspective
The most valuable legacy we can leave is our spiritual legacy of faith in Jesus Christ. Grandparents have an incredible opportunity to create a legacy of faith in their grandchildren and generations to follow and at the same time receive years of great fun (yes, some of it very tiring!). What does God’s Word teach about family heritage? What are the responsibilities and benefits of grandparenting from a Christian perspective?
